While this isn’t earth-shattering by any means, the 14 easily makes it through the day without having to resort to battery-saving measures. In practice, the iPhone provides clear and crisp shots, although that's not surprising as iPhones have topped many smartphone camera rankings for over a decade now.īattery size has also been increased slightly, from the 13’s 3240mAh to 3279mAh. Still comprising a pair of 12MP shooters, including a standard wide and ultrawide lens, the main sensor now features bigger pixels and a faster aperture, resulting in improved performance in both daytime shots and Night Mode. The front camera now includes digital autofocus for clearer selfies, while the rear cameras are now bigger and faster.

The real upgrade that differentiates the iPhone 14 from the 13 is the camera system. Second is satellite connectivity, which can be used to make emergency calls if you’re lost or stranded somewhere without a signal – although this is exclusive to the US and Canada at this time. The first is car crash detection, which can automatically contact emergency services if the phone detects that you have been in an accident. It does bring some new features to the iPhone that are more consequential, though you hopefully won’t have to use them any time soon. Most of the updates here are aesthetic, with new customisable lock screens and a shared iCloud photo library. The iPhone 14 also comes equipped with Apple’s latest operating system – iOS 16. Featuresįinishes x5 (Midnight, Starlight, Product Red, Blue, Purple) But if you’re the type of person who wants everyone to know you have the latest and greatest iPhone, you may be disappointed by the 14’s understatement. The construction of the device is sturdy, rigid, and high-quality – we can’t pick any faults there.

Apple has also retained the shrunken-down notch found on the 13, something that may be controversial as early rumours suggested a redesign which we now know to be a 14 Pro exclusive. It features all of Apple’s trademarks for a modern iPhone mute switch, lightning port and dual camera system, all in their respective usual places. The 14 does come in some new colours, however, with Midnight (black/navy), Starlight (silver), and Product Red being joined by two soft pastel shades of Blue and Purple. The same flat aluminium frame sandwiched between two sheets of glass remains, with the same 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina display up front. The iPhone 14 is practically identical to its predecessor when it comes to the outer shell too, to the extent that most people would be hard-pressed to differentiate between the two models in a line-up.

The similarities between the 14 and 13 don’t end there either. This is backed by an extra 2GB of RAM, which should keep daily use and multitasking running smoothly, and the 14 apparently has more sophisticated cooling to ensure the processor doesn’t overheat – but it is hard to ignore the fact that the guts of the 14 are almost identical to those of the 13. Despite the iPhone 14’s inflated price, it has the same A15 Bionic processor found in the iPhone 13 and the same 128GB base storage configuration.
